First ever Forza Motorsport 5 direct feed gameplay footage

There's been an unfortunate lack of direct feed video of next generation launch games out there, so it's always appreciated when we get a high quality look at the impressive new visuals that the new hardware can crank out.

So today, Microsoft released a new Forza Motorsport 5 direct feed gameplay video which shows off a very polish and slick-looking racing experience. The footage suffers from some YouTube compression, but it's better than nothing.

This is the first ever direct-feed gameplay footage of the Xbox One exclusive Forza Motorsport 5. The footage features the 2012 Pagani Huayra racing in the snowy elevations of the Bernese Alps circuit.

The Bernese Alps circuit debuted in Forza Motorsport 4 and has been completely rebuilt for Xbox One, showcasing the new graphics engine running at a gorgeous 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second.
